Considering what I have been hearing about this application cycle, (low number of applicants, lowering medians, etc) do you guys think it would be worth it to throw in an app at BC with a 3.57 158? Minority but not URM. I had basically convinced myself earlier that it wasn't worth it, but now idk.

Sent it. I also think it's worth noting that they told me I could use my Oct score for admission purposes if I wanted to, despite taking again in December. In other words, they wouldn't have to hold it.

To be perfectly honest with you, I don't think your chances are good with that LSAT score. Yes, schools are desperate for applicants. But above all, they are desperate for applicants within their target LSAT/GPA range. You are currently 6 points below their median LSAT. Schools that you may get into this cycle but perhaps not in previous cycles due to decreasing law schools applications are schools that you're currently about 1 (maybe 2) points below the median LSAT. With another 4-5 points though, BC could definitely be an option for you.

What does this mean?!?

Same. Hopefully good news! I would doubt they would ding anybody this early.

I went under review yesterday afternoon (I was complete at noon but then UR when I checked again at 4pm). Decision rendered this morning when I woke up.....so if you didn't see UR there's a good chance you just missed it.
